“I feel blessed to have been born creative. No day goes by when I don't use this precious gift.

I am truly passionate about my craft, whether it be painting, illustration, lettering or chalk art. I look for the creative potential in everything around me; from gritty ageing architecture to a perfectly formed letter. There is beauty in everything if you look for it."
